Wedding Planning – Choosing Your Wedding Venue

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:18:59 +0000

Planning a wedding is something most women have dreamed about for years! However it can also be incredibly stressful and there is a lot to organize. One of the most important things you need to organize for your wedding is a wedding reception venue, which we shall discuss in today’s article.

Importance of Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Apart from the wedding itself, the wedding reception venue is the most important part of your wedding day. If you want to keep things easy for guests then a ceremony and reception in the same location can be a good idea but selecting the right one becomes even more important!

Every wedding reception venue has its pros and cons, and what might be a stunning venue for one couple may not be right for you. As a couple you may have different wishes about what you want from a reception venue so take some time to talk about what you both want. We shall look at this in more detail below.

What you Need

You should always start by looking at the things that you absolutely need from your wedding reception venue. If you have 100 guests on your guest list then the wedding reception venue needs to be able to cater for this amount. You can quickly eliminate any wedding reception venue that doesn’t meet this criterion.

Availability of accommodation for your wedding night for you and guests is very important, especially if you have many guests travelling lost distances. There needs to be adequate accommodation close by for your friends and relatives to stay at after the wedding reception. If you like a wedding reception venue that is in a very secluded area, can they also offer accommodation options?

Always take into consideration the location of the wedding reception venue. How far is it from the wedding ceremony location? How far are you and your guests willing to travel? Google Maps is a good starting place to view alternative locations, do a search for terms relating your desired location such as noosa wedding reception.

Probably the most important thing to look at when choosing a wedding reception venue is the date. There is no point falling in love with a venue if it’s not available on the date that you want it! You may have more choices and even be able to save money by being flexible on dates and even days of the week. The wedding reception needs to be one of the first things you lock in with your wedding plans.

Once you have covered all these areas, you can start focusing on what you want from your wedding reception venue.

What You Want

We can all picture our dream wedding, but in reality we can’t always have it as perfect as we want. You will probably find that when comparing wedding reception venues you will find one that has everything that you want except one thing, which another one may have. So you may need to compromise on a few details.

Some of the things you need to think about when looking at what you want from your wedding reception venue include the setting and style. There are many traditional wedding reception venues available, some of which are located in stunning rural surroundings or with fabulous views. However, the traditional style may not be for everyone. If you want a modern, funky wedding then look for venues that reflect your own personal style.

Check the styles and types of catering and dining options on offer from potential wedding venues. If you want a sit-down formal dinner, then make sure they can offer you this. Likewise if you want something more casual and intimate.

It’s your wedding, so don’t be afraid to be fussy and get it right!

Jodi & David’s Wedding at Palais Royale

admin — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:48:17 +0000

Jodi and David were married yesterday at the beautiful Palais Royale Ballroom, one of the nicest venues in the GTA. Having had quite a lot of mediocre wedding food, the dinner was amongst the best I’ve ever had, which is nice after a day’s work. The weather was hot but once the ceremony started it was quite manageable and the scene overlooking Lake Ontario was rather stunning. Also, can’t forget to mention the sumptuous cookies and pastries that David made himself in concert with the Palais’ pastry chef.

Here are some pictures from the wedding:
